I want to start traveling more

by

Speaking of traveling, if my husband doesn’t get too panicked while flying next week, and if my ears make it through, I’d like to start doing a lot more traveling. After all, when I purchased our tickets and hotel package for Vegas we ended up getting a membership with a travel club. I figure we might as well take advantage of the deals on packages, flights and hotel stays if we’re up for it.

I’ve never been to New York city so I’m picturing us going there for at least a long weekend, maybe a trip to Chicago on another extended weekend to see Chris’ brother and various other short vacations here and there too. Who knows, maybe we’ll even take a trip out west to Vancouver to see my brother and some of our friends too.

Can you tell that I’m sick of being cooped up in this house! Uh huh. Trying being sick for two years. I’ve got a yearning to travel, or well – just get out of here for a while.

One place that might be nice to visit is Pigeon Forge cabins in the Smokie mountains. The cabins look beautiful with hot tubs outdoors and beautiful scenery from every window. Perhaps we could make it a ski vacation?

Now that’s a laugh. The super klutz wants to go skiing. I’ll probably come back with a broken leg!





Strange talking cats

by

You’ve got to see the post my husband put up on Odd Planet earlier today. It’s so funny!

It’s a video called “the best of talking cats” and wow, the cats really do sound like they are saying words like Hello, Mommy and well one sounds like it can talk in garbled sentences. I think the same cat gets really excited and makes a lot of noise when it gets pet too.

I love taking a stroll over to Youtube and finding cool videos like that. Perhaps I’ll visit again later tonight and see if I can find some more good ones for this site.

Getting hyped up about our trip to Vegas

by

I’m getting all geared up for the trip to Vegas next week. We’re going to the Blogworld and Postiecon conventions and I’ve been busy trying to get everything I’ll need prepared for the trip.

I’m excited and nervous about going to Las Vegas all at the same time.

I’m excited because it’s the first time I’ve flown anywhere this century!

Now that I wrote that, it kind of sounds weird doesn’t it, but honestly, I haven’t been on a plane since oh … 1998. I’m also nervous because every time I do travel by plane my ears hurt like crazy. I used to be able to fly without any problems, but ever since I got my tonsils out at the tender age of 21 my ear drums just about explode when I fly. Seriously, I’ve gone to the doctor after a flight and been told that my ear drums were so inflamed that the doctor was surprised they didn’t burst.

Chris, my husband, is afraid of flying. So between the two of us – me likely with a face full of gum and swallowing like crazy with a pained look on my face and my husband trying to stave off a panic attack we’ll probably be quite the pair.

I’m also nervous because I agreed to speak or well, be on a panel, at Postiecon and well … I’m kind of shy, especially in crowds. I probably won’t really start having fun on the trip until I get that over with on Saturday morning.

I think I’ll just write off Thursday evening. If we feel up to it we’ll try to get together with some of our blogging friends, but I think Chris will be tired as he’ll be taking ativan or valium for the flight, and well, I’ll be full of decongestant, allergy meds, aspirin and anything else I can get my hands on to keep my ears from becoming inflamed during the flight. The last time I flew I was pretty buzzed for about 12 hours when I landed. All those meds took a toll on me. So I think we’ll be in flight recovery mode Thursday night.

Are you going to Vegas next week for the blogging conventions?

Time flies by

Do you remember Ziggy comics? I thought this was a comic strip from the distant past, but it looks like the comics are still being published as I found them online while searching for the term “Ziggy comics”.

I was just thinking about a small flip book that my sister gave me when I was a kid. It was of course a Ziggy comic and the theme of the booklet was ” I don’t know why I love you like I do” or something to that effect. I loved that book and I still have it somewhere in one of my drawers.

The reason I’m thinking about the book today is because the other night I got a message from a book publisher about a new children’s book that’s theme is Love. They’ll be sending me the book to look over sometime soon. The information that I got on the book reminded me of how that cute little booklet that my sister gave me as a present made me feel. Now I’m hoping that I love this new book just as much.

I was thinking that since my niece is due to have her first baby in February I might give her this new book as a gift. Well, I’d give it to her as a gift for her baby of course! It was the first thing I thought of when I knew I’d be getting the book to look over. Perhaps her child will love that book and treasure it as much as I did my little Ziggy comic booklet.

I can’t believe that my niece is even old enough to have a baby. It doesn’t seem like it was so long ago that I was just a kid myself. My niece was born when I was only 12 years old so it’s almost like I grew up with her. Geez it doesn’t even seem like it was that long ago that I got first communion invitations for her and her she is all grown up already.

Time certainly does go by quickly doesn’t it!

Bright Garden Mums

A lovely flower in the fall, chrysanthemums bring color to the autumn garden. They last quite a while in the garden. In fact, mine are only just beginning to die down now that it’s starting to get cool out.

Another thing that I like about mums is that if you cut them and bring some indoors they usually last quite a while in a vase.

Did you grow some mums this year in your garden?
